How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 69 = 0.217391
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.217391 × 100 = 21.7391%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.7391% of 69 is 0.217391 × 69 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/69 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 69 = 21.7391%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/69*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
